It isn't a delicate wallflower, but it is a pretty expensive and complicated way to get 3W on 2m FM. And it isn't really designed for general-purpose 2m use. Will it have automatic repeater offsets on 2m? Maybe not.
With a dual-band mobile, you can use a high-gain 440 antenna. You'll also have at least 10X the power that the KX3 could produce. A 2M mobile radio is under $200, and a basic dual-band mobile is under $400. wunder K6WRU On May 4, 2014, at 3:17 PM, rgconner <[email protected]> wrote: > You must not use CB, or maybe it is just where I live, but if you try and use > any channel on the CB the yahoos drown you out. > > REmeber, any yahoo can use CB, but a HAM operator has to pass a test.
